The last time I saw them cut, the value of the dollar dropped and oil went up. I would think the same events would transpire this week if the Fed repeats. The lower the dollar goes, the more foreign influence we have in our business, the higher oil goes, deflation sets in, etc. It's just a huge mess right now. Adding to that the folks foreclosing which I don't think really benefit from a rate cut since it's not an immediate fix, and things are just awful. But yeah, I'll be closing some positions out on the stock increase if the cut comes. The Fed’s between a rock and a hard place.

I'm betting that the fed cut boost stocks temporarily and then shows a quick decline.
